Check it out: Time Magazine quoted Knox
County Mayor Tim Burchett in a two-page story (with fancy graphics)
about the cash mob “ bona fide social phenomena.”
Click right smack here for a pdf copy
of the article that Screams from da Porch is bootleggin' cause we
didn't want to pay it.
(Little inside baseball: County Emperor
Dean Rice told the mayor – when he first proposed the idea – that
it was stupid. Burchett reminds him of it all the time. Heh.)

Anyhoo, Time says cash mobs are a
“perfectly timed tonic for a sour economic moment.”
Burchett, in the article, says: “People
are struggling all over the country. This is an opportunity for
everybody to join hands.”
The story also notes some history and
rules for cash mobs.
The county's next cash mob is Nov. 8 at
New Harvest Park Farmer's Market.
